For an avi, make sure that the srt and avi have the same name (Robots_dvdscr.avi & Robots_dvdscr.srt) and are in the same location, the subs will then autoload via directvobsub, mplayer, VLC, etc.

To burn to DVD+R, just burn both to the same folder. Not all standalones support external subs, those that do though once again it will autoload.

If you meant for a regular standalone then you need to convert to DVD Video before burning.

 

oh ok..ill try it and see what happenss

 

hmm..still doesnt work with VLC..i renamed the WMP video clip Robots_dvdscr_ENG.avi tried playing it with VLC and no subs

VLC autoloads the subs but has them disabled by default. So you are saying that there are no streams to enable under the subtitle menu or you simply didn't check?

Video-->Subtitles Track-->Stream 1

 

I dont Even Have a Subtitle menu in VLC to begin with maybe cause i put it in the wrong place ok heres the layout The main folder called Robots->Another Robots Folder leading to Video_TS, Robots_dvdscr_ENG.avi (the windows media video clip), and then the Robots_dvdscr_ENG.srt... and thats where i put it

 

As long as Robots_dvdscr_ENG.AVI and Robots_dvdscr_ENG.srt are in the same directory, VLC should autodect the subs and there should be a subtitle option in the menu under video where you can enable it.

 

i also have another question...i burnt a movie to a CompUSA dvd+r and it works in my rooms dvd player and my bros portable dvd player but not in my sisters dvd player...you think its the dvd player or the dvd+r?

 

A combination of both. Obviously the disc does work and presumably the player has worked with other discs (at the very least pressed discs).

Did you burn as a DVD-ROM booktype? If not and your burner supports bitsetting, try it.

 

where do i see if my burner has bitsettings i used dvdshrink so how do i change it if it is a booktype?
